Why would someone put a hunting stand in a tree with a direct line of sight to the Air Force One landing zone? Someone did exactly that and it’s under investigation.
The FBI is investigating a hunting stand that the Secret Service uncovered last week near Palm Beach International Airport in Florida, where President Donald Trump usually lands on Air Force One when traveling from the White House to his Mar-a-Lago resort.
The hunting stand was suspicious because it was positioned in a tree with a direct line of sight to the Air Force One landing zone.
Without disclosing specific details, a spokesman for the Secret Service confirmed the discovery in a statement to the Washington Examiner.
“The U.S. Secret Service is working closely with the FBI and our law enforcement partners in Palm Beach County,” communications chief Anthony Guglielmi said. “During advance security preparations prior to the Palm Beach arrival, which included the use of technology and comprehensive physical sweeps, our teams identified items of interest near Palm Beach International Airport. There was no impact to any movements and no individuals were present or involved at the location.”
“While we are not able to provide details about the specific items or their intent, this incident underscores the importance of our layered security measures,” he added. “The FBI is leading the investigation and we would refer any additional comment to them.”
People are trying to claim that hunters used the platform, or it is for bird nesting.
There is no hunting area near there, or near any big airport. Airports and rifle fire do not go together.
The birds have plenty of trees and branches to build nests on.
All this while FLORIDA law enforcement missed it all??

Cannot imagine any free roaming, four legged “big game” in Palm Beach. This continues a dangerous pattern threatening the life of President Trump.
One man’s hunting stand is another kid’s tree house.
Did you look carefully at the picture?
Yes I did and I searched the internet hoping to find a better photo but none to be had. One news site speculated it might be for hunting iguanas but unless they were setting traps in the tree doesn’t sound reasonable. It shows the secret service is at least taking their job seriously not much else at this time. Hope… Read more »
